One subject that my Pre-Algabra class talks about, superheros. The everlasting fight between which is better, Marvel of DC. There are the people who like DC, the people who like Marvel, the people that try to calm the fighters down and the people who say superheros are overrated. I do not get into the arguments but I really like Iron Man (He is a nerd at heart. Plus the fact of having a nuclar heart and a matching metal suit) and the Black Widow. (a spy, Russian, a girl, has a pistol, and a black body suit =AWESOME!)But I jut saw The Avengers, and they all were cool, so I guess I am a Marvel fan. The special effects were awesome in the movie! I also have a cold, so sorry for low brain function and maybe sucky chapter. Chapter 7 is here. Leo's POV. Read.

I started to feel weird. Not like I was getting the flu, but like a creature was stirring. I felt it all day, faint, but still there. I felt it at night and in my dreams. I have felt it before, a bit here or there, but only for a while. It always went away. But not now. It was constant, annoying, distracing. I could only focus on the car. That was also when it felt the strongest, like a vibrating phone or the hums of the engine on the Argo 2. It seemed to keep me going, like gas to a car and electricity to a mircowave. I knew it helped me.

The car was progressing. I needed to do the wiring, add seats and safety features and clean it up. I realised that the car was an old Mustang (They are tuff :) Quoting The Outsiders). Like 1960s old. I was surpried to find parts for it in Bunker 9 and my cabin. It seemed odd. But I did not dwell on it too much. It was a cool car. Piper would love it when she saw it.

Just then, she appered on a Iris Message. I found out that she was going to regular school. I asked her to come back, even though I knew she would say no. I told her what I been thinking ever since she left. I missed her. At least as much as I missed my mother. But the pain was still sharp, not dull like my mother's death. I wanted her so badly. What was it called again. I racked my memory as I continued working.

"It's called encanta, mijo." My mother told me in the distant memory.

"What does it mean?" I asked. I was five years old.

"It is somthing everyone has, even if they don't want it. It is very valuble.

"Like gold?"

"More presious than gold,mijo, than all the gold in the world, bu anyone can have it. We have it."

"We do?"

"Yes, and you will have it with someone special in time. Just like me and your father did."

"I am glad we have it, then we are not all poor."

"We always had it, so we never have been poor. Never were, and never will be."

I never was told what it meant, but I learned over the years what it meant. It was love. Love. Was I in love with Piper, not just a sorry smuck that was denied by her? Did she love me. I think I love her, but as a good friend, but is it more? Was my mom telling me that I would eventuly fall in love with a girl, like Piper? Maybe I did really love her, the whole time. Just that I forgot the times we had before Jason, and Piper was in love with Jason, and that the quest took up a lot of our time and thought. It is weird to think about how it was mostly Leo and Piper before the 'realizing-you-are-a-freaking-child-of-a-Greek-god-or-goddess' phase, not Leo, Jason and Piper.

I stopped working and took it in. I loved her. I am truly in love. And there is a high chance of her loving me back. I felt myself grin my maniac smile. It was not a crush. It was true.

I worked even harder than ever. I felt hours slip past, day turn into night. Hunger pangs hit my stomach, and sweat poared down my forehead. I knew that I had to stop sooner or later, but I wanted to stop later. I looked at the clock. It was 5:34 AM. I had been working for about 10 hours. I decided to stop, and sleep for a while. It was 7:19 AM when I woke up. I knew that I stank, so I ran to take a shower in my cabin. I then had an idea.

I went to the storage room where all of the strawberrys were kept. I got a carton and then went into the kitchen. I then ran to the kitchen. I was a regular visitor, I had to practice my Chef Leo skills, so the cooks did not mind. I decided to make one of Piper's favorite dishes, Tofu & Broccoli with Israeli Couscous, something she introduced to me, and I really liked it.

I made the dish quickly, and put in a plastic container. I put half of the strawberrys in another container. I took a couple cookies, which were by the lava filled sink to stay warm for dinner. I also put in some iced tea in a thermos. I put it all in a Hercules Busts Heads collectable lunch box. I put a note on top. I thanked the wind spirits and ran to the Big House.

I went into Chiron's office. He looked at me, confused.

"I need a box and a package slip. I am sending something to Piper." I told him.

He no longer looked confused. He nodded, then handed me a box and a slip for Hermes Express. I yellled a thank you to Chiron and ran out. I ran back to my cabin, to my bunk. I got stange looks from my siblings, but I ignored them and grabbed a nearly empty bag of golden drachmas, which had just the right amount of drachmas for one shipment.

I filled out the slip with Piper's address. Then I poured the drachmas into the pouch attatched to the slip. I put the lunchbox inside the box and stuck the slip on the outside of the box. The box instantly disappeared. I smiled. At least Piper will have something good on a day she dreaded.

I am really a quick writer. The chapter was a little short, but I was running out of ideas. Well, you know what I am about to say. Review. Hope you like the chapter. The usual. Remember to respect your mom. You know the gifts that the teachers made us make in elementary school, that makes Mother's Day important. Sucks for the dads that Father's Day is in June. No handmade gifts for them. But tell your mum that you will acknowledge that Mother's Day is as important as her birthday. Maybe it will help you in the future. See ya peeps. :P
